- izzdrasil 3y agoThis is the "workaround" now that websites aren't given free range access to your cookie jar. They make a unique identifier out of a range of info like OS, browser, screen size, whatever seemingly harmless info they can get.

I wish there was a separare setting for private browsing. That said, that was enlightening, thank you for pointing this out. It's disgusting that there are companies selling this.

This one overestimates uniqueness because it doesn't consider stability (e.g. it uses your current battery charge level as a uniqueness measure, which is obviously not stable minute-to-minute let alone day-to-day).
